VBAC Unveiled: The Surprising Truth About Healing, Strength, and What No One Tells You After a C-Section
- You’ve previously had a vaginal birth
- You have no more than two prior C-sections
- You and your baby are healthy during your pregnancy
- Your baby is a “normal” size (average measurements in weight, length and head circumference)
- Labor starts spontaneously before or around your due date
- There has been at least 18 months between your C-section and the due date with the next pregnancy
Even if your doctor decides that you’re a good candidate for trying to have a VBAC, they’ll continue to discuss the benefits and risks throughout your pregnancy. This is in case a situation comes up that affects your ability to have a safe vaginal birth – including going past your due date, gaining significant weight during your pregnancy, developing pregnancy complications like high blood pressure or gestational diabetes, or the return of the condition that required your previous C-section.
